Jameson Square Park

While in Portland we went looking for a way to waste away the afternoon and enjoy the city. Someone at our hotel suggested we hit up this park that was lots of fun for the kids, especially in the beautiful weather, because it had water. We packed swimsuits {just in case} but upon getting there it didn't look like much. So, we just kicked off the flip flops and hiked up the shorts...

And then the water came crashing down the giant steps...


And filled into a GIANT pool...Dad might have offered Luke (with not-quite-healed stitches) $5 to lay down and get completely wet.
And once the clothes are wet why bother changing, right?

So we stayed while it drained and filled again, and again,and again, and again...completely soaked and loving every minute!


Until Uncle Daniel spotted this self taught professional....

Now doesn't he just scream kid friendly?


And although they weren't thrilled to get a picture with the balloon maker - they couldn't have been happier with their treasures! Perfect ending to our day in the park!

I love how Luke is "eyeing" the balloon maker in the picture! Now why can't we have a free, fun, water place like that around here?
